Show us a schematic of your "standard voltage doubler HT supply".
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

What's the function of the pair of .22u caps? Never seen that in in a bias circuit before. I always just see resistor > diode > voltage divider.
